Fayose Alleges 5 APC Governors Secretly Backing NDC, N200k Per Polling Unit Plan

Nigerian businessman and political commentator, Isaac Fayose, has claimed that five serving APC governors are secretly supporting the NDC ahead of the 2027 general elections.

In a viral video, Fayose congratulated the NDC and said he personally attended a meeting with the governors where they allegedly listed their terms and conditions for supporting the party.

According to him, one of the governors’ major requests was that Nyesom Wike should not be allowed to win the FCT and Rivers State for the APC. Fayose said he told them Wike and the APC are not popular in Abuja and Rivers.

However, he claimed the governors said their concern was not popularity but how election results could allegedly be manipulated and announced.

Fayose further alleged that the APC is already “writing results” ahead of the election. He claimed the governors said they were aware of the alleged plan but wanted to know how it would be executed.

He also alleged that the governors were willing to offer N200,000 per polling unit to every NDC agent who would resist alleged rigging in Rivers and the FCT.

Fayose claimed the governors told him they still want President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, whom they referred to as “Asiwaju,” to win the presidential election, but their objective is to ensure Wike loses the FCT and Rivers State.

He said the governors do not want their names made public because they remain APC members, but are allegedly willing to “pay the bills” to ensure Wike does not retain control of the two areas.

The identities of the five governors were not disclosed in the video, and none of them has publicly confirmed the claims. The APC has also not responded to the allegations as of press time.

Fayose’s claims have sparked reactions online, with some describing the alleged development as significant while others are demanding evidence.

As of now, the claims remain based solely on Fayose’s account and have not been independently verified.
